Washington bad hard luck yesterday, losing two games to the leader. The first game was close aud exciting, New York only pulling it off in the tenth inning, while the second was as easy for the Giants as falling off a log. In the first game, as stated in Tas Strap, the local team tied the score in the sixth inning by good luck and a costly error of Ewing’s. Wise ‘was caught between third and home and Ewing ran bim close up to third, when he threw the ball to Whitney, but instead of falling in the baseman’s hands it went sailing .

In the case of Eva Hamilton for assaulting which time Taz Stan's report closed, the cross- examination of Nurse Donnelly was continued of the room by Mrs. Hamilton and after having thrown Mrs. Hamilton on the bed she did gc away, but almost immediately returned to the room and the altercation began again. The questioning of counsel for the defense was evidently to establish an assault on Mrs. Ham- ilton by the nurse previous to the cutting, The witness admitted having taken two drinks of brandy that day before the stabbing. Mrs. Donnelly was asked if she had taken the diamonds of Mrs. Hamilton and indignantly denied the accusation. She had no knowled; of them. Farther examination related to bolding of Mrs. Hamilton on the bed and t! latter's white wrapper which she had on when the cutting took place was shown the witnes: and she denied that she had torn it when she bad bold of Mrs. Hamilton, although the gar- ment was badly torn. 4 PLEA OF SELF DEFENSE, Wm.

RAY HAMILTON ON THE STAND. ‘Then all eyes were centered on the witness stand as Robert Ray Hamilton was called and slowly but firmly stepped upon the platform and took the oath. He did not look at his wife, but ten times ae the first half of his exam- ation referred to her as the defendant, He started in at once to answer the questions of Capt. Perry as to the beginning of the trouble between the nurse and his wife, which be; in New York some months ago, when Donnelly came home drunk. He stated that had been driaing aad aveaabunive’tengange n and used abusive aage to the defendant. Mrs Donnelly came into the room about 6 o’clock that morning. A DOMESTIO QUARREL. Witness was sitting on the bed with a sheet wrapped around him, as Mra, Hamilton had torn his under clothing from him during a domestic quarrel. Mrs, Hamilton struck him with —— and broke it over his shoulder. There been trouble about his purchasing tickets for New York the previous evening, Hamilton not wanting to go. In the morning this was reversed. Witness wanted to stay in Atlantic City. It was then that his night shirt was torn, and also the coat which was lying on the bed, the defendant ripping itduring her fit of anger. Later the nurse came into the room with two ietters, giving witness one and retaining the other. This she refused to give up and defendant told her she was discharged. Mrs. Donnelly said she would Rot go and witness told her she must. Wit- ness said there had been considerable ar; ment between the defendant and himself morning relative to » separation and an an- nual allowance for her. He had agreed to give her $5,000 a year, but she wanted more. THE BABY TAKEN TO A SAFE PLACE, Mr. Hamilton related the manner in which the quarrel started between Nurse Donnelly and the defendant. He said the knife used had been in his possession four or five years, When the row first began he tried to put the nurse out of the room, and was assisted by Mrs. Rupp, who had entered in the meantime and who the baby, which had been sitting on the floor, to a place of safety. Witness suc- ceeded in getting the nurse out of the room, but she came rushing back, exclaiming, “Let me at her,” and calling her foul names. They clinched, both women having their fingers in each other's mouths. The nurse struck Mra, Hamilton with her fist and forced her back on the bed, where the knife was lying, having been placed there while the trunks were being — It was then the cuttin, ‘itness said he had tried to lock the door in the first place to keep the nurse, who appeared infuriated, out of the reom, but he could not find the key. FAVORABLE TO THE DEFENDANT. ‘The cross-examination was as to the amount of whisky brought to the room that morning and as to the quarrels between him and the wife. Hamilton was a witness napessg d favor- able to the defendant and coolly gave his tes- timony, and was not tripped once on crose- examination. Ex-County Physician Ingersoll, who has been attending ton during her imprison- ent, followed Mr. Hamilton on the wit- ness stand. He testified as to marks of vio- lence he found u; her body. Mrs. Elizabeth Rupp. proprietress of Noll cottage, wus then upon the stand. She substantiated Mr, ilton’s statement as to her entering the room and i baby toa place of safety. She said both prin- cipals to fracas had been using bad lan- gosee. Witness was present when Mrs. Ham- ton Paper. sy to assault the nurse with an infant's bath tub. Mrs. Hamilton made the remark in her presence: ‘Ray Hamilton, you will have me sent to the gallows yet.” EVA TESTIFIES IN HER OWN BEHALF. When Counsellor Perry called Mrs. Evange- line Hamilton to the stand she walked with » firm step and had ceased weeping. After seating herself she nervously twisted a feather tau which she carried. She related her story in a halting manner. Robert Ray Hamilton covered his face with his hands, as if in dread of the revelatious about to be made of domestic infelicities. Mrs, Hamilton sat directly in front of the jury, facing Judge Reed. She stated that the nurse was of a quarrelsome nature andon tbe morning the affray occurred had remarked that ‘she was tired of seeing me at that poor devil all the time,” meaning Mr. Ham- ilton, Witness was afraid to call her her own during the time Mrs. Donnelly was in her employ. Mr. Hamilton upheld her, the witness which only tended to make matters worse, “I often spoke to her,” witness continued, “about her neglect of my baby. She was in the habit of leaving it at home ‘and going out to drink. Her abusive lan; ‘was more than I could stand and I disc! d her.

Mrs, Hamilton @ was afraid of her life and her fears were intensified by the stories told by the nurse of how she had assaulted le, citing one instance where the woman told how she cut her husband's face with ehatchet. Witness said during the struggle F pea up whisky bottle and with it over her husband's Mrs. Hamilton then related how the nurse threw her on the bed. on witness’ stomach.

Result of the Disastrous Fire at Sea- ford, Del. Later reports from the town of Seaford, Del., which was reported to be on fire in yesterday's Stan, state that the flames consumed fourteen buildings—two dwellings, seven stores, two offices, one barber shop, town hall and Masonic hall, The loss is estimated at about $30,000 and the insurance will net exceed $9,000. All the buildings were of frame, and but for the heavy rainfall the whole town would probably have been destroyed. The burned buildings will soon be replaced with finer property, but it ia not yet decided whether they will be brick or frame.

P, HUNTINGTON’S DISCLAIMER. He Says There Was No Engagement of His Daughter and Hatzfeldt. A Paris special cable to the Philadelphia Times says that C. P. Huntington, the Ameri- can railway magnate, returned to Paris yester- day from a business visit to Germany. Refé ring to the rumors of his adopted daughter's engagement to Prince Hatzfeld he said: “The New York newspapers are having an immense amount of trouble trying to settle whether my daughter is or is not engaged to Prince Hatzfeldt, One might imagine that it waa something unusual for an American girl to get married. It is easy to see that the journal- istic season is very dull. But of all the absurd things I have seen printed the most absurd is the sensational account of the manner in which I um supposed to have broken off this match, Once for all, I should like to state that I have not broken off any match between my daughter and Prince Hatzfeldt, for the d and suffi- cient reason that no such matoh ever existed, The young gentleman has been lavish enough with his attentions, nor is there very much rea- son to doubt the character of his intentions, but it takes two people to make a bargain, sometimes three, and neither my daughter nor myself have made up our minds what to think of this Teutonic nobleman. I don’t mean to find fault with Mr. Hatzfeldt for being prince. LT have met him and think him « very pleasant young man asyoung men go. They tell me he Bas been extravagant and lost money on the turf, but pretty much all young men do that sort of thing nowadays, Prince Hatzfeldt is a man of honor and an accomplished gentleman.

The form this evidence has taken, and in which it will be presented at the trial on be- half of the defense, are a number of letters written by Miss LeCaron, daughter of the notorious witness in the London Times-Parnell case, to her affianced husband, who is well-known aad prominent young Irish- American of Chicago, These letters have been written by Miss LeCaron from London st brief intervals ever since she joined her father in that city last winter after he had appeared as « wituess before the Parnell com- mission. The letters trom Miss LeCaron after the disappearance of Dr. Cronin alluded fre- quently to him and intimated that the writer Knew that the doctor was « victim of a vile conspiracy of which she knew the particulars. But she never gave any detailed account of the information, which she left to be inferred she had obtained frem her father, till after the arrest Coughlin, O'Sullivan and Beggs. Then she became thore definite. LeCaron, after his arrival in London, had warned Cronin and advised him to save himeelf by complying with what was expected of him. on was cautious. In hiy letters he did not indicate from whom this danger to Cronin was to come, Miss LeCaron in a confidential communication to her lover was not so discreet, In one of them she writes: “There is one man who got away and whom they should have arrested. Why didn’t they est Burlingham? They might have learned a great deal from him.” BRITISH @PIES AT WORK. The story outlined in the series of letters, of which there are very many, is to the effect that LeCaron and Burlingham were both British spies; that Dr. Cronin im his intimacy with them soon learned their real character. and in order to obtain from them fuller insight into their plans and duplicity and the designs of the English government he permitted them to think that he also was venal and could be hired by their employers. They made the propo- sition that he enter the American branch of the secret service of Scotland Yard. He ap- a Lipsey He obtained all their in- formation without giving any in return. They deca suspicious and sought to obtain from him certain papers which they had given him in his supposed character of spy. He refused to givethem up. Meanwhile Le Caron was summoned to England to testify —— Parnell, It was suggested to Cronin at he would be calledon Inter for the same urpose. Burlingham and other representa- ives of the British service in Chicago were told to look out for Cronin and obtain at any price the documents which would have Feveal the close connection between certain high Ameri- can officials and the London detective system. Cronin refused to yield and threatened the ex- e Scot ard people grew ite. It was resolved to rob him of the papers and it was in tha’ sao. that the doctor was killed, the conspi ieving it he always car- ried the much-wanted papers on his person. Burlingham, who, it is alleged in these ers. should be watched, sold out his drug store at North Clark and Oak streets fora very low price and disappeared. NEW WITNESSES IN THR TRIAL. The Journal had the same story in substance and added: In opposition to the above it is claimed that at the proper stage of the Cronin trial the prosecution will produce as witnesses T. J. Kirby, Thos, LeCaron and Patrick Cooney. This, it is said, has been made foe by the efforts of Messrs. Hynes and Mills of the coun- ael for the state, with the aid of the Pinkerton detectives, Kirby, as agent of the British gov- ernment, was in Chicago for months before the murder of Dr. Cronin prying into the secrets of the Clan-na-Gael. He was very successful and returned to London full of information, not oy about the workings of the order but with fall particulars of the plot against Dr. Cro- nin and the manner in which it was carried out. It was the intentien of the British authorities to put Kirby on the stand in the Parnell case, but it was ee ou he the evidence = Seprien (er Beach) wor streng enough, and that ne good would com disclosing Kirby iden and the nature of his errand to America until absolutely necessar by keeping Kirby off the stand the Briti uthorities would be able to use him to good advantage in other cases. After the trial Kirby went to Canada and was lost sight of until located a few days ago by the detectives, He was told what was wanted of bim and for along time refused to have any- thing to do with the case. Finaily the matter was put to him in sucha light that he consented to come to Chicago and appear as a witness for the prosecution when required. LeCaron has revealed tothe American de- tectives the names of certain menon whom suspicion has not heretofore rested, and, like Kirby, will be on hand ready to testify when wanted. It may be well to state that in order to avoid any mistakes about Kirby and LeCaron showing up when wanted they have constant companions in the shape of Pinkerton’s most argus-eyed employes, FOUR JURORS ACCEPTED, Alittle before adjournment of court last evening four jurors who had been repeatedly questioned by both sides were pronounced satisfactory by the defense, Counsel for the state withdrew for consultation and on return- ing the state attorney said: “If, the court please, we also accept these four.” The fact that at last some jurors had been selected created quite a sensation, “The gentlemen who have been accepted will rise and be sworn by the clerk,” said Judge McConnell, and the four jurors arose and were duly sworn in. They are James A. Pearson of Glenwood; John Culver, Evanston; Joha L. Hall, Fernwood; Charles ©.

Letters of Miss LeCaron in Regard to | He Repeats the Language He Used Re- garding Tanner’s Resignation. ealled yesterday to expressions attributed to him relative tothe Tanner resignation. He said: Somebody seems to have gotten up a con- troversy over what I said in my speech at Springfield at the soldiers’ reunion concerning the resignation of Commissioner Tanner. I take pleasure im stating as nearly as I can actly what I did say and what I propose to say as often as occasion may seem to call for it. Speaking of the claims of pensioners upon the government I said that there were two wrongs that should be corrected; one was the ——- of the miserable $2.8 month :pension and the other was th: : = _—- the — ing o! lications, 1 spoke o! poral - ner with words ofcompliment and regard, as one who had labored hard to correct these wrongs, and in that connection said: I, in com- mon with all old soldiers, regretted to hear of his resignation. I was plessed, however, to note the aesurances that been given out that nobody reflected upon his integrity as a man or as an official; that I did not know ex- actly what the trouble was that called for his resignation, but that it had been hinted that it was due to the fact that he had been unduly expediting the business of his office. I said in that conaection I conid not think the Presi- dent had found feult with him on that account, because he had told us when he wasacandi- date that the claims of pensioners should not be weighed in an apothecary’s scales. This view of the case ap) d to fix the re- sibility of the trouble upon = member of 1 cabinet, for whom I could not speak, since Thad never heard of him before he was made member of the cabinet and but very little since, except in connection with his controversy with the commissioner of peusions. I then proceeded to say that, in time, no doubt, we would know the reason he had resigned, as we were entitled to know it and shouid know it, and that if there was no other reason than the one suggested, while it might be that he could not back into that office, vet no other man should or could be his successor with the ap- probation of the patriotic sentiment of cauntry who did not pursue the same policy, PRESIDENTIAL TRAINS. Run With the Greatest of Care and Expense and Give Little Satisfaction. “We don't like presidential trains,” said a railroad man to an Indianapolis News reporter. “Why?” “Fer several reasons. They are very expensive. The best cars, the most com- petent trainmen are employed. The President seldom is aware of the fact that his train is guarded by detectives, but we have our secret service men there just the same. Every other train must keep out of the way of the Presi- dent's train. Fast freights that usually run within ten minutes of ordinary passenger trains are not allowed to be within thirty min- utes of the President's special. You can see, it costs considerable to side track a train for thirty minutes. Passenger trams must take the siding and mail trains lay by, In the case of mail trains, we are under heavy bond to make a certain time, and just imagine how a mail in must run to @ up time lost on side tracks. Bridges must be guarded and inspected, and not! left undone that will insure an absolutely safe passage of the pre: dential party. Then train on every ma: employed is severe, We always feel greatly relieved when the presidential train leaves our ivision and the fellows on the next di @ other road have to do the sweatin; never heard of s presidential train being wrecked, did you?’ eee To be Sold into Slavery. ‘The captain, four sailors and one pas- senger of the Spanish vessel, which was cap- tured by natives of the Riff coast of Mo- recco, have been carried into the interior of the country, it eee teow object of their captors to sell them’ into rer. ‘The Spanish gov- ent will make an immediate demand on julten of Morocco that the prisoners be re- d to liberty. ——+_—9e—_____ Stabbed to Death in a Church. ©.
